Voicethread allows you to upload photos or videos. Then, you can make comments about your videos/photos in different ways. You can record comments with your voice AND "doodle" on the screen at the same time! You can add text to your videos and/or photos.
Suggestions for classroom use:
1. Students could create or copy a problem-solving activity. They could begin by typing the problem into a few powerpoint slides, then saving those slides as jpg. Next, they upload those powerpoint jpg's into voicethread. They can narrate their photos (read the problem) and "doodle" their solution as they narrate.
2. LITERATURE CIRCLES - Upload a picture of the book OR students create a picture or wordle, etc. about the book. Upload it. Then, students leave their comments about the book. Teacher could start the discussion, then students could leave their audio comments, video comments (using web cam) or type in comments. I am going to start using voice thread with our Read it Forward book, Gollywhopper Games. I am going to post a picture of the book (a pic of one of our copies), then have students who read the book leave a comment about it before they read the book forward to someone else. LOVE THIS IDEA!!
3. Research - Students research a topic, locate and save jpg's that go with it. Students present their research project by recording a voicethread. Here's a very short sample:
